I need a bit of advice regarding the setup and installion of a satellite dish at my new flat.

At the moment we have a communial Sky system, which only has one feed going to each flat, which means I cant receive Sky + or HD.

What I would like to do is buy something like a Squish Duo or a NEOVIA NEO-VH200 FLAT ANTENNA and install this on the Juliet balcony railing, and then run the two cables through the windows with the aid of a Window Frame F Cable for each.

I'd flat to mount the dish completely flat against the balcony rail, would this work?

I'm not sure which dish to go for out of the two above, any advice or opinions would be great! :)
 
The antenna most probably won't work flat against the balcony rail, as it will have to point whichever way it needs to, to pick up the satellite, which is unlikely to be the exact direction of your balcony rail.
 
The neovia can be mounted on the inside of the balcony railings sitting behind by 12 inches or so and looking over them.
 
Annoyingly its a Juliet type balcony, meaning its a balcony railing on the outside with a large door/window which opens into the room. So you dont actually step out onto it.

So mounting it inwards wouldn't work :(
 
Oh right, sorry, should have realised that.:)

It can be mounted slightly above from behind, but you may need to modify the bracket.
 
If you go to dishpointer and zoom into your location, you will be able to see which way the railings face in relation to the direction the antenna needs to point for 28E.
